The murder of Scott Guy in July 2010, the subsequent investigation, eventual arrest, trial and acquittal of his brother-in-law, work mate and former friend Ewen Macdonald received enormous media coverage in New Zealand. It polarised opinions; many people remain convinced that Macdonald is guilty, and that the jury got it all wrong, others are convinced that it had to be someone else, and that the police botched their investigation and overlooked evidence pointing to any perpetrator other than Macdonald. Mike White, an award-winning journalist, investigated the murder for over a year, and was present every day during the trial. This examination of the case is gripping and compelling, and is ultimately a very persuasive argument that the jury got it right - that based on all of the evidence presented to them during the trial, it was impossible for the jury to find Macdonald guilty 'beyond reasonable doubt'. Macdonald's team of lawyers, led by Greg King, mounted a brilliant defence, described here in some detail, leading to Macdonald's acquittal. I would urge everyone interested in this case, whichever side you're on, to read this book - it might just change your view..
